The Satan's Witness lie is exposed by the very passage he cites.

1) They try to confuse rank and role with essence of being.

a) Man is the head of the woman in the same sense God is the head of 
Christ. Men are human beings. Women are human beings. The fact men are 
the designated head and women are supposed to submit to them, doesn't 
mean the woman isn't also be a human being. It means that there is a 
voluntary order of rank within the same class of being.

b) God is the head of Christ. That's rank, not essence of being. 
Philippians 2 shows that although Christ was "equal" to God, He did not 
regard "equality" with God as something to cling to. He emptied Himself 
and took the form of a servant.

Thus, voluntary submission in rank and role does not necessitate that 
husband and wife or God and Christ are different classes of being.

2) They contradict the many passages of Scripture which directly state 
and indicate Jesus is God.

Jesus is God

Jesus is God. This truth stands at the center of the gospel and defines 
the Christian faith. The Bible teaches clearly, from beginning to end, 
that Jesus shares the divine nature, authority, and glory of God. Those 
who deny this truth reject what God has revealed about His Son. To 
understand why we say Jesus is God, we must walk through the Bible’s 
testimony.

The Old Testament prepared the way for the coming of God in the flesh. 
The prophet Isaiah foretold that a child would be born called “Mighty 
God” (Isaiah 9:6). In the same book, Isaiah said the coming voice in the 
wilderness would prepare the way of Yahweh Himself (Isaiah 40:3). When 
John the Baptist fulfilled this, he prepared the way for Jesus (Matthew 
3:3), showing that Jesus is Yahweh in human form.

The New Testament makes this even more clear. The Gospel of John begins 
by calling Jesus “the Word,” saying, “In the beginning was the Word, and 
the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1, ESV). He was not 
created. He existed from the beginning with God and as God. Then John 
tells us, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14, 
ESV). Jesus, the eternal Word, took on human nature without ceasing to 
be God.

Jesus claimed divine identity many times. In John 8:58, He said, “Before 
Abraham was, I am” (John 8:58, ESV). This statement echoes God’s name in 
Exodus 3:14—“I AM WHO I AM.” The Jews understood this clearly. They 
picked up stones to kill Him for blasphemy because He made Himself equal 
with God (John 8:59).

Jesus also forgave sins, something only God can do. When He told a 
paralytic, “Your sins are forgiven” (Mark 2:5, ESV), the scribes said, 
“Who can forgive sins but God alone?” (Mark 2:7, ESV). Jesus did not 
deny their logic. Instead, He healed the man to prove His divine 
authority (Mark 2:10).

Jesus accepted worship that belongs only to God. After His resurrection, 
Thomas fell before Him and said, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28, 
ESV). Jesus did not correct him. He affirmed Thomas’s faith. In 
contrast, when others tried to worship angels or apostles, they were 
stopped immediately (Acts 10:25-26; Revelation 22:8-9).

The apostle Paul also testified clearly. He said, “For in him the whole 
fullness of deity dwells bodily” (Colossians 2:9, ESV). Jesus does not 
merely reflect God. He is fully God in human flesh. Paul also called 
Jesus “our great God and Savior” (Titus 2:13, ESV) and said that Jesus, 
though equal with God, humbled Himself to become a man (Philippians 
2:6-7). His name is above every name, and every knee will bow to Him 
(Philippians 2:10-11), echoing Isaiah 45:23—a passage that speaks of 
Yahweh alone.

The author of Hebrews speaks the same way. Hebrews 1:3 says that Jesus 
is “the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his 
nature” (Hebrews 1:3, ESV). He upholds the universe by His word. In 
Hebrews 1:8, God the Father says to the Son, “Your throne, O God, is 
forever and ever” (Hebrews 1:8, ESV). This is a direct call to the Son 
as God.

Peter also confessed this truth. He opened his second letter by 
addressing believers who have received faith “by the righteousness of 
our God and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:1, ESV). This pairing of 
“God and Savior” refers to one Person—Jesus Christ.

Even the Old Testament titles and actions of God are applied to Jesus. 
God is called the first and the last (Isaiah 44:6). Jesus takes this 
same name in Revelation 22:13. God says He created everything alone 
(Isaiah 44:24), yet John says all things were made through Jesus (John 
1:3), and Paul agrees (Colossians 1:16-17). Jesus is not a lesser god. 
He is the Creator and sustainer of all things.

Jesus also bears the name above every name. In Philippians 2:10-11, all 
creation bows to Him and confesses Him as Lord. This word “Lord” (Greek: 
kurios) often translates the Hebrew name Yahweh in the Septuagint. 
Romans 10:13 quotes Joel 2:32, saying, “Everyone who calls on the name 
of the Lord will be saved.” Paul applies that to Jesus (Romans 10:9-13), 
showing that calling on Jesus is calling on Yahweh.

Jesus’s resurrection proves His claims. God raised Him from the dead to 
show that He is the Son of God in power (Romans 1:4). He now sits at 
God’s right hand (Hebrews 1:3), receives worship from angels (Hebrews 
1:6), and will return to judge the world (Acts 17:31), a role that 
belongs to God alone (Genesis 18:25).

Some try to deny His deity by saying He prayed to the Father or called 
the Father His God. But these truths show His humanity and His 
relationship to the Father, not a denial of deity. Jesus became fully 
man without ceasing to be fully God. He lived in perfect dependence on 
the Father as the second Adam (Romans 5:18-19; Philippians 2:6-8). He 
prayed, submitted, and obeyed to accomplish our salvation. The eternal 
Son added human nature so He could die for sins, rise again, and bring 
many sons to glory (Hebrews 2:10).

The Trinity explains this. The Father, the Son, and the Spirit are 
distinct Persons, but each is fully God. The Son is not the Father, but 
He shares the same divine nature. The Son came in the flesh. The Spirit 
applies His work. The Father sent the Son, the Son obeyed, and the 
Spirit testifies (John 14–16).

To reject Jesus as God is to reject the gospel. Unless He is truly God, 
He cannot save (John 8:24). A creature cannot bear the infinite wrath of 
God for our sins. Only God can save sinners (Isaiah 43:11). Jesus, fully 
God and fully man, bore our punishment and rose again. This gospel 
centers on who He is (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).

The Scriptures speak with one voice: Jesus is God. He is the eternal 
Word made flesh, the Son of God who shares the nature, works, titles, 
and worship of the Father. He is not just a good teacher or a powerful 
prophet. He is “our great God and Savior” (Titus 2:13, ESV). To believe 
in Him is to believe in God. To deny Him is to reject the only hope of 
salvation.

The only true gospel that has power to save is that Christ died for our 
sins and rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Galatians 1:8-9). 
Every perverted gospel is false and drives souls to conscious, eternal 
torment in the lake of fire (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; John 3:18; 
Revelation 14:11; Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:11-15). If you deny 
that Jesus is God, you will die in your sins (John 8:24).

Our debt to God was nailed to the cross where Christ died for our sins 
(Colossians 2:14), and God demonstrated this fact by raising Him from 
the grave (Romans 1:4). Now, God remains perfectly just while forgiving 
those who put their faith in Jesus (Romans 3:26) and sparing them from 
future wrath (1 Thessalonians 1:10). It is a free gift for everyone who 
believes (Romans 6:23). Trust in the Lord and call on His name to 
receive salvation (Romans 10:9-13):
